Gaining weight while cutting?

[Silv]

So I'm supposed to be cutting yet in 4 weeks I've put on about 8lbs lol. 6'2 243lbs at about 16% bf for stats. I'm running 75mg of Winnie oral a day and 500mg of test e. My diet has been a little off due to some unforeseen circumstances after I started, but even on a bad day I eat maintenance (usually less). The only positives I can say is my stomach is down about a 1/2 inch and my arms are much more vascular. So it seems as if I'm dropping fat and gaining muscle (still killing it 4-5 days a week in the gym).

Basically any ideas? Should I adjust levels? Adjust food intake? Be happy with the size and strength increase? Pound sand?

Just be happy, majority of that weight is water.

Think so? It's primarily Winnie which I was under the impression doesn't add water weight and would even kill tests water if so that makes me feel better.

you are falling victim to scale watching.

the scale doesn't mean a thing, its what the mirror says. post up before and after pics if you want an honest assessment of whats going on

Yeh, forget the scale. Variances from fluid and glycogen retention (as well as muscle mass) while on high androgens will cause it to go up often even when cutting. Go by the mirror.
